Maybe I'm getting crotchety in my old age but I have to admit there's something about this that bugs me. I'm not sure if it's the suspicion that if you have to say your nice it might be because you aren't so nice to begin with or the idea that some place has a corner on "niceness".
I think what actually happens is that wherever you are - you create, what to you is, reality. If you find that wherever you go (or most places you go...or many places you go) the people aren't nice (or are nice) it says more about you than them.
I've been in this cafe and the people are nice - just like a lot of other places.
